Steven Charles Falkers

Steven Charles Falkers, 63, of Lino Lakes, Minnesota, passed away on June 29th, 2021 after a fiercely fought battle with stage IV metastatic prostate cancer. Steve was born on November 9, 1957 to Charles "Bud" and Barbara Jean Falkers in Saint Croix Falls, Wisconsin. He graduated from Unity High School in 1976 and landed his first job with Metcalf Mayflower Moving Company. Steve went on to work for Mohawk Moving and Storage for nearly 40 years. After knowing each other for a few years, Steve finally snagged his cowgirl at the 1978 Polk County Fair, and he and JoAnn were married two years later on August 9, 1980. Their love story includes many great adventures and homes in the Twin Cities before settling down in Lino Lakes with a few horses. They welcomed daughters Stephanie and Brittany in 1987 and 1989. Steve was a force of nature, determined to provide for his family, give them every opportunity, and show them unwavering love and support. His family meant more to him than anything else in the world, often mentioning his wife and daughters as his greatest achievement. The Falkers family was complete with the addition of his daughter's partners and the blessing of his grandson, Oscar in October. Oscar will always know, "Grampa's here!". Steve's love of family extended beyond his girls, and he loved time with his sister, in-laws, and their families. This love also extended to the friends he made throughout many phases of his life. Steve was passionate about sharing his love of horses and the outdoors with anyone who wanted to learn. His involvement with Northwest Saddle Club, the Dandy Linos, and Anoka County 4-H provided him with an opportunity to make so many meaningful connections and share his passions. While Steve might say he wasn't a great teacher, he didn't understand the impact that he was making by just extending a hand, asking someone if they wanted a ride, or caring for everything behind the scenes. The horse family he created spans generations and Steve's work will continue through the efforts of those he taught along the way. Anyone who knew Steve knew that he was the most loving father and husband a family could ask for. Steve was predeceased by his parents Charles "Bud" and Barbra Jean Falkers and father-in-law Grant Hendricks. He is survived by his wife JoAnn (Hendricks) Falkers, his daughters Stephanie (Matthew Gilbertson) and Brittany (Robby Sherman), his grandson Oscar Steven Falkers, his sister Lonnie (Ed) Ellefson, his mother-in-law Thelma Hendricks, his nieces and nephews, his in-laws, decades of friends, and his 4-H family. Steve left the advice of make peace, not war. In his honor, find an opportunity to share peace with others and lend a helping hand. The family requests that all flowers and notes are sent to Gethsemane United Methodist church. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to Anoka County 4-H. There will be a funeral service on Monday, July 5th at 3pm at GETHSEMANE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH; 7330 Lake Drive, Lino Lakes, MN 55014, followed by a celebration of life at the Falkers Ranch.
